Crystals of the material hexagonal boron nitride can be etched so that the pattern you draw at the top transforms into a smaller and razor-sharp version at the bottom. These perforations can be used as a shadow mask to draw components and circuits in graphene. This process enables a precision that is impossible with...

Scientists have established a mathematical model to anticipate the maximum exercise program for building muscular tissue. The scientists from the University of Cambridge utilized methods of theoretical biophysics to create the model, which can inform just how much a certain amount of physical effort will lead a muscle to grow and how much time it...
